Wrap your PHP code in an if with an isset condition. This way, the code will only be run if the form has been submitted:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    include_once("config.php");
    $date = date('Y-m-d');

    //Database Variables
    $dbhost = strip_tags($_POST['hostname']);
    $dbuser = strip_tags($_POST['dbuser']);
    $dbpass = strip_tags($_POST['dbpassword']);
    $submit = isset($_POST['submit']);
}
